Faith Sullivan, The Cape Ann, 1988 quotes
"She had learned the self-deprecating ways of the woman who does not want to be thought hard and grasping, but her artifices could not always cover the nakedness of her need to excel."
To hate and to fear is to be psychologically ill ... it is, in fact, the consuming illness of our time.
In a few generations more, there will probably be no room at all allowed for animals on the earth no need of them, no toleration
"She had learned the self-deprecating ways of the woman who does not want to be thought hard and grasping, but her artifices could not always cover the nakedness of her need to excel."
